In the context of the legal uncertainty raised by Brexit for ongoing and future contracts involving a British party, sustaining business might request to handle possible disputes resulting from unforeseeable consequences of Brexit in a subtle way.

While a well drafted hardship clause may offer a ground, when present, to renegotiate the contract or if the parties fail to reach a new agreement, to terminate the contract, it could be generally advisable to consider some of the options offered by alternative dispute resolution instead of opting for litigation.

Analyzing constructive ways to prevent and resolve disputes, this seminar intends to focus on the even-handed protection of the interests of all parties involved, facing the uncertain outcomes of Brexit, and willing to pursue business.
